LG reveals new 5G Velvet smartphone in South Korea ahead of UK launch

Smartphone giant LG has announced its upcoming mid-range flagship, the Velvet, as it launches in South Korea. The phone will feature a "raindrop" triple-camera array, where the lenses are ordered in descending size on the back of the phone, and has a 6.8-inch OLED display with a notch in the centre. As documented in older posts from the technology giant, that main camera will be comprised of 48MP, 8MP, and 5MP cameras and the front-camera is rumoured to have a 16MP resolution. Powering the phone will be the 5G-compatible Qualcomm's 765 processor, found in competing devices from Oppo and Motorola, and Google's Pixel 5. Only one variety of the phone has been announced, with 8GB of processing power and 128GB of storage.
